Come sail away


With the last week of STEM camp at GEMS already here, students are taking what they have learned about boat design, buoyancy, water displacement, surface tension, and different building materials to design their final boats. Some boats are being designed to carry a larger load of pennies, some boats are being designed to move on their own with sails and wind, and some boats are even being designed to float for a certain amount of time, then sink, like a submarine!
